I read her first post and have been reading it in between tasks at work. I cannot stop thinking about this amazing girl Katie, and what a sacrifice she has made to do God's work. She is living in Uganda and has adopted 14 little girls. FOURTEEN!!! Did I mention Katie is 22?
This really makes me think. What do I do for God? What do I do that makes him happy? Not enough. I wonder if he led me to Uganda would I go? Would I take on the task of sacrificing my whole life to be "Mommy" to 14 girls? I would like to think that I would do what he led me to do, but the easy option is to ignore it or say it is too hard.
I just want to give kudos to all of of the people who listen to God's calling and run with it. Those that give up their normal, comfortable American lives to go live in impoverished countries and help those in need. Those that see nothing but hunger and pain all day every day, and still have the strength to smile and praise God at the end of the day.
”A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
